c WAVING OF-HA'IR," H Application filed November 2, i935, Serial 1 To.66, 3"i1 and in Giga'aam ntv'e nib if 53 9 24. a 'v This inventionrelates to apparatusi foi usejm: the waving of hair and of the typewherein steam isadapted to be injected or a ;'.j acket whereby thebrought in contact with the hairwound upona suitable curling device. andmountedwith ,halr' 1s heatedv with a'tight joint to prevent escapeot-the steam.

The invention I consists in ahair-waving appliance comprising incombination a ack et' adapted; for moist Y heat treatment of the hair,and means ,operatively.connected to V the scalp end oftheja'cket forfacilitatingthe i'ormationc ofi a; vapour-tight tjoint be, tween thetress of hair and thejacket;

Y I V The accompanying drawings illustrate animproved jacket and jointing means according to the invention: 1 Y a vFigure 1 being a sectional elevation of the jacket, with the improvedjoint-making device applied thereto. Figures 2 and 3 'being partialelevations fied form, while v V F igure' is a. sectlonal elevatlon ofthe improved jointing means.

In carrying the invention into e'flect ac cording to one convenient wemode, a cylindrical tube 5 is provided with, an opening at both ends andis adapted to accommodate.

a curlerfi of any suitable form upon which a tress of hair is wound. l

Arranged on the outer face of the acket is a sinall'tube or pipe 7adapted to conv'ey steam to the interior of the jacket at theleft-hand'end thereof. The pipe 7 maybe mounted upon the jacket in anyconvenient manner and may bepositionedby distance pieces 8 on'thejacket, The free endofthe steam pipe may be clippedby the band, 9 andmay project'beyond the jacket whereby Y the necessary connection withthe source of steam may be made.
